One word: privatization

I’m doing that and generally the next step after that is : “OK, can you do it again and this time DO NOT CLOSE THE ERROR POPUP so we can get information on what is happening”

Plus your probably save on gas too.

I can guarantee if the story is true or not but my father talked regularly about a neighbor that he knew when he was a kid.

The neighbor was a ballet dancer above 2m tall and was driving an old school mini.

To be able to fit in it he removed the front seat and was driving sitting in the back seat.

Same thing, I’m mostly using the GPS on my phone but unless I try to always carry a paper map with me as a safety.

I really liked that movie

On the other hand I did took care of a pool for a while, it was in a villa that my in laws owned.

We did a few things that helped lowering the maintenance cost and the pool was pristine.

First thing is a salt chlorinator. It keeps a constant (low) chlorine level so the pool stays clean, there is no more chlorine smell and you only need to top up salt after too much rain.

Then we were using hardware store muriatic acid to bring the pH up and baking soda to control alkalinity. We still went to the pool store to get productd for the calcium hardness and cyanuric acid.

The last thing is a bit more involved but this is what made the biggest difference on the bill is to replace the pump with a DC pump directly connected to refurbished solar panels, no batteries, no inverter. This way when there is a lot of sun the pump is running a lot, a little sun and the pump is running a little.

It’s perfect since the amount of algae development is proportional to the amount of sunlight. There is almost no electronic in the system, just a extremely reliable DC pump and solar panels that can last for decades, I found that to be a great low-tech solution.

However we were in a tropical country, I have no idea if this would apply in another climate.

This was my criteria for buying a house : no pool !

Desalination plants also requires a lot of energy, which is another ressource that carribean islands are struggling with.

I’m using both a the same time, one tab, two space, another tab…

This way everyone is happy.

I was thinking exactly that yesterday, I looked for a way to have few web apps without using ferdium.

And we get these 100W from transforming food that we find on/in the ground.

Yes, it’s also called Natural Organic Reduction or terramation. This would be my dream.

When I die compost my body and use the compost on a tree in the garden or spread it in a natural reserve. This way if my relative want to visit my grave they go in nature rather than going in a gray cemetery full of concrete.

The three core principles of scouting are:

• Duty to God (adherence to spiritual principles, loyalty to the religion that expresses them and acceptance of the duties resulting therefrom)
• Duty to others
• Duty to self

When asked where religion came into Scouting and Guiding, Baden-Powell replied “It does not come in at all. It is already there. It is a fundamental factor underlying Scouting and Guiding”. Source

So unfortunately removing religion from the scouting would remove one of the core principle of the movement, I don’t think it would anytime soon.

Which is a shame because I really enjoyed my time scouting, I think it was a great balance of fun, education and learning responsibilities. But the religion aspect of it make me seriously reconsider to send my kids to do it or not.

I understand you’re argument but I disagree. If the goal is to use FreeCAD then yeah, it’s probably better to start as a beginner.

If the goal is design parts using CAD then Onshape is a much better option in my opinion.

I would definitely recommend Onshape, this is what I use.

It’s great that FreeCAD exist but I would not recommend it for a beginner in CAD, there is a very steep learning curve before being able to create anything in it.
